Staphylococcus epidermidis is a coagulase-negative Gram-positive coccus that is the most abundant commensal bacterium on human skin. It colonizes the entire body surface and mucous membranes of humans and other mammals globally. While normally harmless, it is a leading cause of biofilm-associated infections on implanted medical devices.
Staphylococcus haemolyticus is a coagulase-negative, Gram-positive coccus known for its broad antibiotic resistance and occasional opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. It is a common commensal on human skin and mucous membranes worldwide. This bacterium can cause prosthetic device infections and bacteremia in hospital settings.
